A cashel is simply a ringfort defined by a stone wall rather than an earthen bank and ditch, and this one measures approximately 38.8 metres north to south and 34.5 metres east to west. Its defining feature is a spread of stone, between 3.6 and 7 metres wide, that forms the perimeter. The western side retains the most height, rising to around 1.8 metres on its outer face, though internally the wall barely clears the ground at all, reaching just 0.2 metres above the interior surface. Intermittent traces of the original outer wall-face survive around the full circuit, enough to suggest how the structure once presented itself to the surrounding landscape.

The most intriguing features lie in the south and east. A gap of roughly 2.2 metres in the southern wall, positioned close to the south-east corner, is a plausible candidate for the original entrance. Just inside that corner sits a large cairn, a substantial mound of stones measuring around 10.65 metres north to south and 10.5 metres east to west. Within the cairn there is an ill-defined open area that could indicate a now-collapsed chamber, perhaps one that functioned to defend or control the entrance passage, though no wall footings have been found to confirm this. Elsewhere in the interior, towards the east, there is a souterrain, an underground passage or chamber of the kind commonly associated with early medieval settlement in Ireland, often interpreted as a place of refuge or storage. The cashel sits within a wider field system, suggesting it was once part of an organised agricultural landscape rather than an isolated fortification.
